Strong organizations start with strong leadership, and board members play a vital role in nonprofits by sharing their expertise, supporting the mission, and ensuring the sustainability of the organization.
Nonprofits often have ideas of the responsibilities they would like their boards to undertake, but did you know that there are certain things board members must do? These requirements apply even when the organization is a small, community-based nonprofit. And, failure to meet these requirements can potentially lead to civil and even criminal penalties for board members.
